Singles

 

Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull stay at No.1 on the ARIA Singles Chart for a second week with JLo’s comeback single “On the Floor”, and in the process pick up a platinum sales certification. Also holding this week is Jessie J and B.o.B’s “Price Tag”, which took picks up an accreditation, this one for Gold sales. But zooming up six places to land at No.3 is a man who is no stranger to being guest vocalist on a track; although this time he is the lead vocals, its Snoop Dogg and his David Guetta Remix of “Sweat”.

 

Once again a track jumping into the Top 3 has meant that it pushes last weeks Top 6 all down once place, so dropping to No.4 is the former chart-topping “S&M” by Rihanna, and also former No.1 “Born This Way” by Lady GaGa gets back onto it’s one-place-a-week drop as its now down to No.5 after two weeks at No.4. Lupe Fiasco reached a new chart height last week by taking “The Show Goes On” up to No.5, this week though it falls back a place to No.6, and Diddy and Dirty Money’s “Coming Home” is the last single place drop, it’s now down to No.7. Holding at No.8 are The Black Eyed Peas with “Just Can’t Get Enough” and falling two places is Bruno Mars and “The Lazy Song”, now down to No.9. And scoring his eighth Top 10 single is April tourist Chris Brown with “Beautiful People”, rising four places from its debut of No.14 last week, plus he also debuts inside the ARIA Albums Top 10 with his new album “F.A.M.E.”, and that albums second single “Look at Me Now” re-enters at No.97.

 

MOVERS & NEW PEAKS: Jumping ten places to score his first solo Top 20 entry is Dr. Dre, and with the help of Eminem and Skylar Grey his track “I Need a Doctor” is at No.13 this week (BTW: Dr. Dre did hit the Top 10 as guest vocalist on 2Pac’s “California Love” in 1996). Right behind them at No.14, and jumping up sixteen places to score the biggest Top 50 leap of the week, is Jessica Mauboy and Jay Sean with “What Happened to Us”. The final new Top 20 peak is Ian Carey and Snoop Dogg’s “Last Night”, up one place to No.19.

LMFAO spent the past two weeks partying at No.29, now their track “Party Rock Anthem” moves up to No.23, and moving up eleven places to land right behind the party at No.24 is Kanye West and Rihanna’s “All of the Lights”. Panic at the Disco debut with their third album this week, and the lead track from the album “The Ballad of Mona Lisa” is up four places to No.29.

 

GLEE REPORT: Scoring the winning trophy last week on the Season 2.1 finale, and scoring their position to the Glee National Championships, the Glee gang also land the highest new entry on the ARIA Singles Chart this week, and it’s their first of two original tracks (after 79 covers songs) to debut. Landing at No.15 is “Loser Like Me” (U.S. debut at #6) a song allegedly written about the gang nemesis Sue Sylvester. The gangs other non-cover track “Get it Right” also debuts this week, entering at No.34. Their Glee competition also featured a Warblers track, which enters at No.30, and is a cover of P!nk’s former No.1 single “Raise Your Glass”, which also helps the original to rebound thirteen places and re-enter the Top 50 at No.38. Three more songs from the mid-season finale also debut in the lower 50, with the Warblers version of The Beatles song “Blackbird” entering at No.58. “Misery” by Maroon 5 (HP-39, July 2010) gets covered by the Gleesters and debuts at No.66, and finally a third Warblers songs debuts at No.100, “Candles” originally performed by American group Hey Monday. So these six new entries bring the Glee total up to 85 chart entries in the past two years (first entry July 2009).

 

Debuting at No.26 is the last No.1 single of 1983, and re-enters due to the performer’s current national tour. Lionel Richie’s “All Night Long (All Night) (2001 Remix)” features Guy Sebastian as guest vocalist and debuts at No.26 this week helped by his current tour, plus proceeds from the track go to help Queensland flood relief and New Zealand’s Earthquake Appeal. The original version reached No.1 on December 19th in 1983, and it stayed at the top for six weeks, making it the Xmas and Summer No.1 of 83/84.

 

Below Top 50: Only one new peaking track in the lower part of the charts this week, and again its helped up the charts by an upcoming tour. Skrillex will be here as of April 22nd to be a part of the Creamfields tour (plus some solo shows), and his song “Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites” climbs up eleven places to score a new peak of No.83. Current tourist Usher sees his older songs jump back up the charts, as former No.1 single “OMG” has the biggest T100 leap of the week, up twenty-nine places to No.60 in its 49th week in the Top 100. His follow-up single to OMG was “DJ Got Us Fallin’ in Love”, which re-enters the Top 50 at No.45, up nine places from last week plus his album also re-enters the Top 10 this week. Plus Usher re-enters at No.95 with his first No.1 single “Yeah!”.

 

Selena Gomez and The Scene are set to release their third album soon, and the first taste from that upcoming album debuts at No.71 entitled “Who Says”. It’s the groups fourth ARIA chart entry, they re-entered in January this year with “A Year Without Rain” (HP-78).

 

Good Charlotte enters at No.74 with the third single from their album “Cardiology” (HP-3, Nov 2010) album entitled “Last Night”. And local act Sparkadia debut with their second chart entry “China” at No.81, whilst their debut album also enters this week. Their first chart entry was “Talking Like I’m Falling Down Stairs” which hit No.80 in September of 2010.

 

Albums

 

After a five year hiatus from the charts, New York group The Strokes are back and take their fourth album “Angles” straight into the No.1 spot on the ARIA Albums Chart. “Angles” instantly beats the bands previous three Top 10 album positions, with their first August 2001 album “Is This it” debuting and peaking at No.5, and amassing sixty weeks on the charts. October 2003’s “Room on Fire” spent seventeen weeks in the Top 100 and entered and peaked at No.6, followed in January of 2006 with their previously highest placed album “Last Impressions of Earth” which accumulated twenty-one weeks on the chart and debuted at No.4.

 

So “Angles” becomes the 627th No.1 album in Australia (1965-2011), and it’s the first time we’ve had angles at No.1, no other album previously containing that word. The album is the 229th No.1 by an American Act, and 299th by a Group and The Strokes are the 60th American Group and the 130th American Act to reach the top here.

 

Last weeks debut at the top, “Glee: The Music Volume 5” drops back one place to No.2 this week, helped by some of the songs from the album being performed last Monday night, and the two original tracks from the album debuting this week over on the singles chart. Bruno Mars sees his “Doo-Wops and Hooligans” album climb up a place to No.4, and last weeks No.2 debut of “Endgame” for Rise Against falls down to No.5 this week.

 

Now that Rihanna’s tour is over and her reign at the top of the singles chart ended, her album “Loud” drops down four places this week to No.7. But current tourist Usher sees his album “Raymond V Raymond” re-enter the Top 10 at No.9 (up from #14) giving the album its eighth week inside the Top 10. After debuting three weeks ago at No.1, Avril Lavigne’s fourth album “Goodbye Lullaby” drops six places to No.10 this week.

 

The fourth album for Chris Brown debuts at No.3 entitled “F.A.M.E”, and instantly becomes his highest charting album in Australia. All three singles from the album are in the charts this week, “Yeah x3” is at No.17, re-entering at No.97 is the second single “Look at Me Now”, and cracking the Top 10 this week at No.10 is “Beautiful People”. His self-titled first album debuted and peaked at No.57 in February 2008, whilst his second album “Exclusive” spent three weeks at No.5 and racked up sixty-nine weeks in the Top 100. Third album “Graffiti” was released in December 2009 and only managed to debuted and peak at No.40.

 

Now a duo, Panic! At the Disco debut at No.6 with their third album “Vices and Virtues”, score their second Top 10 entry in the process. Their first album “A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out” took half a year (26 weeks) to reach its peak of No.11 for two weeks, then in April 2008 they debuted at No.1 with their second album “Pretty.Odd”. Lead single from this new album is “The Ballad of Mona Lisa” is at No.29 this week.

 

The fourth Top 10 debut of the week is by local group Sparkadia, who enter at No.8 with their debut album “The Great Impression”. They also debut with their current single from the album “China” at No.81 over on the singles chart.

 

MOVERS: Re-climbing up thirty places is the latest Hillsong United album “Aftermath”, back up to No.16 this week, plus they also re-enter at No.75 with “Hillsong Chapel: Yahweh” and at No.83 with “A Beautiful Exchange”. With David Grohl and the boys in the country for a promo tour for their upcoming album “Wasting Light” (due April 8th) this past week, their “Greatest Hits” collection jumps twenty places to No.32. Neil Diamond’s national tour again helps his album to climb this week, with “The Greatest Hits 1966-1992” up twenty places to No.64, his latest studio album “Dreams” up fifteen places to No.51, and entering at No.89 is his new collection “The Essential 3.0”.

 

Also touring at the moment is ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic, and his “Essential Weird Al” collection debuts at No.45, his first chart entry in four-and-a-half years. Debuting right behind him at No.46 is Ke$ha with “The Remix Album”.

 

The lower 50 albums see a climb for Little Red and their album “Midnight Remember”, up forty-one places to No.59. Paris Wells re-enters at No.61 with her album “Various Small Fires”, which also gives the album a new peak position (former peak was #75 in Oct 2010). Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker enters at No.68 with his debut solo album “Give the Drummer Some”, and Green Day enter at No.69 with their new live album “Awesome as F**k”.

Celtic Thunder debut at No.92 with their seventh album “Take Me Home”, and finally entering at No.98 is Funeral for a Friend and their fifth album “Welcome Home Armageddon”, their fourth album to chart (we missed their first album here).
